Eat it Ducks!!!! Karma! That's what you get for playing like a pack of dirty Ducks!!

Flames deserved that one 100%.

Now if the Ducks plane could have some mechanical trouble over the Rockies on the flight home....i hate the Ducks!

Whooooooohooooo!

Trochu · #**452** 01-06-2018, 10:46 PM

Sweet!!

HVA7mm · #**453** 01-06-2018, 10:53 PM

Glad to see the Flames beat the Ducks, and nice to see Hamilton get the winning goal. (Unfortunately Matthew Tchachuk-Avery was awarded a point)

propliner · #**454** 01-06-2018, 10:59 PM

A smart and patient winning goal. Great game with fine goaltending, a good fight and a goal by Tkachuk.

Edit: If I want to watch a fight I'll tune into one.

What a dirty play!!, I am working so missed the third but just caught highlites. Man I hate them, expect nothing less from a Duck.. Glad the boys took care of it. I have no problems with a fight where both are willing.
Great win, now keep foot on the gas. Leave the Oil in the dust and all will be right in the world..

Is Jagr done with the Flames ?

sgill808 · #**460** 01-07-2018, 08:10 AM

I like Tkachuk. He seems to give the Flames a boost in energy. Great win.

It seems like it, apparently they are in discussion about how to proceed. Commentators talked about it a bit after the game. Doesn't sound finalized, but work in progress.

Hmmm?...I thought that was "a million dollars well spent"..?

I gotta admit, Flames fans are funny. Anything said about any of their players and it's "Oh!...look over there!".LOL. You guys hate Corey Perry, but a jerk like Tkachuk "gives the team energy"

Tkachuk is the cleanest player on the team. I have no idea what your talking about

. But Perry? That scum bag, don't even get me started.

Got to stand up for the boys!!

I think there are some fundamental differences between the two. Admittedly, Tkachuck is a really provacative player, gets in your face, chirps, and all that good stuff....but he will do it right out in the open, he isn't shy about it and he will answer the bell if somebody calls him out.

Perry is a slithering coward, it's all sneaky behind the play stuff, looking around to make sure the ref isn't watching and then trip a player on the way to the bench like he did (again) last night. Or taking his stupid little run at Smith between the periods...just a sneaky b*tch. And he hides behind Manson or whoever is available if he gets called out. The only time I've ever seen him answer any bell is if it's with some little guy that he knows won't school him properly.

Not to say that I don't agree with you about Chuckie, I'd hate him if he was on the Oilers and we had to deal with that crap from him. But he is ours!

And he does have some great hockey skills too.

He draws a ton of penalties and is third in points, too. What's not to like?

Exctly. And he has Pedigree. His dad fought Kesler, and so did he! Perfect way to pass the torch!

Jamie · #**469** 01-07-2018, 02:07 PM

Look at me go!!
I was fortunate enough to get invited to the game last night as well. Thats 2 games in a row! Both were awesome games.

Oh and Tkachuck is awesome. He scores, he leads, he has it all. I want his brother as well.
He is always in the middle of everything. No issues going to the net and answers the bell. In a very short time, he has garnered some respect around the league for his ability. To compare him to Avery is a amazing brain fart. Do you actually watch the games?

Did they show Smith go to the Ducks bench on TV? I thought a bomb was about to go off. At times last night it seemed we were one spark away from a total melt down. Such intensity and passion last night. How come all games can't be like the last couple?

Anyhow, my truck had to have a sleep over at the Dome. Stupid heroin beer.

Twisted Canuck · #**470** 01-07-2018, 02:11 PM

Sounds like you had a great time, and I envy that you were there for the game. Ducks were getting beat at hockey so of course had to resort to being Ducks...which is the letter 'I' away from what they are. But Flames got nasty too, and beat them like a red headed step child. Was beautiful to see! I really like Chuckie too, but doubt we'll get his brother (though I'd love to have him too!).

Ok maybe Avery wasn't a perfect comparison as he doesn't match Tkachuk's offensive output, but their on-ice antics are similar. Maybe Kesler would be a better comparison. Either way, I don't like their style of play no matter how effective it is. Way too greasy, kind of like a Duck.

In todays hockey, its all we have left. Cant fight, can't hit, he is becoming the hero of Minor hockey.

This tickets last night were a 100% surprise. I got them at 7 PM.
Good seats as well. Flames attack end right on the goal line 1/2 way up the 2nd bowl. It was different sitting there as my 1/4 seasons are on the rail in the Press Level. More energy it seems.

I'd take both Tkachuck brothers over the Hamiltons any day!

Those players have been around forever. If you are an Oiler fan you will remember Tikkanen or Linesman.

Yeah big Oilers fan here.............................................. ....................

He is more than those you mentioned. He is almost a Hi-bred player. Kinda of a all in one guy. He is a pest, he will agitate, he will fight, he will lead, he does score, he goes to the tough places on the ice.
He walks the line I know he does, but what serious cheap shot have seen him give (Ok, the one elbow was big)? What comments in the paper has he made? Guys love him that play with him.

I would say the game after his suspension for the elbow was the point I started to really respect him. He gave the whole Kings organization the chance to get their pound of flesh from him. Then he still took a big run at Doughty. This is all after stretching on the red line during warm ups and letting everyone know he had shown up.

Never the same as the 80's guys.....

HVA7mm · #**478** 01-08-2018, 08:02 PM

Correct, Tkachuk isn't really an 80's guy, more of a Khadri/Dustin Brown. Effective yes, easy to hate, yes. Not really the kind of guys that anyone sheds a tear over if they get badly injured, but just sneaky/greasy enough to avoid injury.

roper1 · #**479** 01-08-2018, 08:03 PM

The Jagr experiment is over. It was worth a try, glad they're moving on sooner rather than later.

Trochu · #**480** 01-09-2018, 09:09 AM

Big game tonight. Hopefully they show up with the same intensity they did against Anaheim.
